The general properties(size, shape, fruit constituents) of ten different varieties of dried red pepper and the proximate chemical composition, carotenoids content and Hunter color values of their powders were examined in order to establish an objective instrumental method to evaluate the consumer acceptability of red pepper powder. The results of instrumentally measured color values were compared with the sensory acceptability data obtained from 100 housewives in Korea. Red carotenoid consisted of 68-85% of total carotenoids, while ${\beta}-carotene$ content showed close relationship with the sensory color preference. The values of Hunter color system, L,a,b and axL, showed significant relationships with the sensory color preference. Especially, axL value had close relationship with both color preference and pungency intensity of red pepper. Therefore, we suggest the consumer acceptability of red pepper powder can be determined instrumentally by axL value of colorimeter. Sensory acceptability=0.02001(axL)-12.5774

Due to the high interests of image quality by consumers, the concerned market becomes more heated. Recent digital camera development tendency shows to perform the higher image quality to meet consumers demand of quality satisfaction. However it is hard to confirm that development of objective image quality performance means positive subjective image quality preference. And also, we cannot find out the previous researches concerned on correlation between objective and subjective image quality comparison. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the consumers preferred images based on objective image quality performance. Throughout this paper, we analyze statistical correlation between the objective and subjective image quality assessment methods by using ISO standards. In these results, we try to find attributes that enhance image quality. We suggest not only to analyze and reflect on customers' preferences, but also to pursue the high quality image performance practically. We expect the results of this paper to positively influence product development.

본 연구의 목적은 소비자의 하이테크 제품 선택에 있어 브랜드와 제품 성능의 상대적 중요성을 결정하는데 영향을 미치는 요인들을 도출하는데 있다. 영향 요인들은 크게 제품 요인과 소비자 요인으로 분류하였는데, 제품 변수로는 제품의 평가 용이성과 제품의 혁신성을 고려하였고, 소비자 요인으로는 소비자 관여도, 소비자 지식, 소비자 혁신성을 고려하였다. 또한 제품의 쾌락성/이성성 정도와 제품의 노출 정도에 의해 4가지 제품군으로 분류하여, 제품의 유형이 변수들의 영향력에 미치는 조절적 역할을 연구하였다. 연구에 대한 주된 결론은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 하이테크 제품 전반적으로 소비자 혁신성, 소비자 지식, 제품 평가의 용이성, 제품의 혁신성이 제품 선택에 있어서 브랜드의 중요성을 결정하는데 영향을 미치는 변수로 나타났다. 즉, 소비자들은 지식수준이 낮을수록, 소비자 혁신성이 낮을수록, 제품의 평가 용이성이 낮을수록, 제품의 혁신성이 낮을수록 브랜드 위주의 제품을 선택하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 제품의 쾌락성 정도에 따라서 브랜드의 상대적 중요도에 영향을 미치는 변수들이 달라지는데, 쾌락재의 경우에는 소비자 혁신성을 제외한 모든 변수가 브랜드의 상대적 중요도에 영향을 미치나, 실용재의 경우에는 제품 평가의 용이성과 제품 혁신성, 그리고 소비자 혁신성이 영향을 미치는 변수로 나타났다. 셋째, 제품의 노출 정도에 따라서 공공재의 경우에는 소비자 혁신성, 제품 평가 용이성, 제품 혁신성이 유의한 변수로 나타났고, 개인재의 경우에는 소비자 지식과 제품 평가 용이성이 영향을 미치는 변수로 나타났다.가치가 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 그러나 소비자의 금전효용가치는 PB제품의 선호도와는 직접적인 관계가 없는 것으로 나타났으며, PB제품구매의 지각적 가치가 PB제품 선호도에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 연구결과는 경제성을 추구하는 소비자라 하더라도 PB제품의 지각적 품질수준 여하에 따라 PB제품의 판매가치가 크다고 지각될 때에만 PB제품을 선호하는 것으로 풀이할 수 있다. 본 연구는 최근에 큰 관심의 대상이 되고 있는 PH의 연구자와 유통업계 실무자들에게 유익한 전략적 시사점을 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 지자체가 대형유통점에 대한 규제를 강화하는 것이다. 먼저, 대형유통점의 불공정거래행위에 대한 감시감독과 처벌을 강화하는 것은 당연한 것이다. 그러나 정부가 아닌 지자체가 이를 주도하기는 사실 어려움이 있다. 그리고 대형유통점이 영업행위를 영업시간제한에서부터 출점제한에 이르기까지 규제하는 건은 심사숙고하여야 한다. 대형유통점이 국가경제 및 지역사회에 미치는 영향이 부정적인가 긍정적인가에 대해 국내외 학계와 업계에서 여전히 많은 논란이 있기 때문이다. 정부와 지자체에 의한 시장개입은 반드시 필요한 경우에 한해 합당한 방법에 의해 이루어져야 한다. 대형유통점에 대한 규제는 지역사회에 미치는 영향을 다면적으로 평가한 결과에 근거하여 이루어져야 할 것이다. 대부분의 지자체는 체계적인 평가시스템과 객관적인 통계 자료를 갖고 있지 못한 실정이다. 향후 가장 시급한 과제는 시장개방 이후 지난 10년간 대형유통점이 지역사회에 미친 영향에 관한 광범위한 통계자료를 수

The purpose of this study is to determine potential associations among consumer preference for American beef, consumers' involvement in selection of desired beef, and their intentions to purchase beef. In order to meet the above purpose, this study surveyed the visitors who shopped at 2 big discount stores selected in each of 3 metropolitan cities(Seoul, Daejeon and Daegu) from July 11 to 13, 2008. Total 278 sheets of the questionnaire were collected and used for final data analysis. As a result, it was found that the consumers responded most sensitively to the safety of food when buying beef but didn't care much about the amount of fat and beef brand. In terms of imported beef, it was found that Australian beef was considered reliable by consumers, and their preference for Korean beef was positively correlated with that for Australian beef. In addition, in regard to the attributes of beef selection, it was found that low involvement group had higher intentions to purchase American beef than high involvement group. In order to determine the potential effects of consumers' involvement in the attributes of beef selection on their intentions to purchase American beef, this study conducted data analysis in control of consumer preference for American beef. As a result, it was found that consumers' involvement in the attributes of beef selection had significant effects on their intentions to buy American beef. And sex was found to be one of the demographic characteristics associated with involvement in the attributes of beef selection, particularly associated with low involvement. Depending on sex, it was found that women had lower preference for American beef than men.

This study aims at providing basic data for product planning to design smart clothing and to develop applications, focusing on consumers by satisfying their emotions through analyzing emotional factors on smart clothing, comparing emotional differences between conventional clothing and it, reviewing changes of consumers' emotion by integrating the product and clothing and researching differences of preference and purchase intention between smart clothing and traditional one. As the results of the study, emotional factors for smart clothing were analyzed with total 6 including 'technical', 'comfort', 'aesthetic', 'modern', 'fun' and 'multiple' factors. Among them, except for 'comport', five emotional factors showed emotional factors between conventional sport-casual clothing and smart clothing. That is, emotional factors of 'technical', 'aesthetic', 'modern', 'fun' and 'multiple' were emphasized more in smart clothing than conventional ones, indicating that they should be considered in planning products of smart clothing. Though there was no significant difference of preference between smart clothing and conventional clothing, in case of comparison of averages, that of smart clothing was a little higher. For purchase intention, smart clothing was lower than the conventional clothing. So preference seems to be not directly related to consumers' immediate purchase. To make consumers' interests and preference to result in purchase, it is necessary to develop smart clothing with more various applications and to prepare commercializing strategies. As the results of the analysis on free-descriptive questionnaire survey, consumers were interested in development of smart clothing to help diet with functions including energy harvesting from body motion, calorification and perspiration, measurement of motion and calory consumption as well as health-care type smart clothing to measure heartbeat and ECG. Reflecting these requirements from the consumers, they should be utilized as guidance to develop smart clothing in the future.

A number of studies have been conducted on the evaluation of bi-national products, but studies that may be applied in practice are lacking. This study suggests several implications for bi-national products in the sub-market using a more specific approach than previous studies. To this end, this comprehensive comparative study reflects the purchasing routes, product category, and consumers' personal characteristics (regulatory focus, prior knowledge) of bi-national products. Results found the evaluation of bi-national products according to purchase routes showed that consumers in offline stores were more favorable than consumers in online stores. In comparison with product categories, necessities were more positive than luxury goods. On the other hand, according to consumer's personal characteristics, consumers with promotion focus tendency perceived brand preference more highly than consumers with preference focus tendency. Also, it was found that groups with high prior knowledge had a positive evaluation of products compared to low knowledge groups.
